I deleted the old digikam and reinstalled the new version that you built. I got the same error message that I posted earlier on this thread (with the older digikam). This is the messages I get at the prompt:

I am not attempting to update any database - just installing the new version of digikam.

I know it's good to find solutions and I appreciate all the work you've put onto this but might it be simpler for me to install soho? I seem to recall that's what you have. I'm assuming it's possible to migrate from Kde to xfce on soho.

Installing SOHO or installing the full kde packages will be much more easier if your system allow it...sorry for taking so long for you...

I doubling my message sent to you earlier. No attachement option for the private messages. Digiakm 2.8 has trouble importing photos. The import window seems to seems to be querying but nothing happens. When I click the "album library" icon in that same window the programme freezes and my machine runs out of memory - swap usages increases. Here is a screen shot.
